5:48 am
eastern shore, portions of southern maryland, cambridge, oxford. these are areas that are all getting some of this heavy rain right now that moved into easton, across the chesapeake bay itself. a big swath of heavy rain moving across portions of the region from the south to the north. this is what was a little blip a short time ago. i said we're going to watch t you see how it has grown right around severna park and now to the north of severna park. this is more heavy rain just to the east of beltsville. this is pushing north. while many of you are not getting any precipitation this morning, most of us have the mist and the fog and now of areas of heavy rain to our east. let me show you the flash flood watch that is in effect for today from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. because of that heavy rain that we are seeing and are likely to see during the course of the day when these rain showers pop up. in some case, it will be light, moderate rainfall. but in other cases it will mushroom into heavy rain and a
5:49 am
lot of it will be over the same regions where we had heavy rain not so long ago. that is why we have the flash flood watch that goes into effect later on this morning. here is a look at the sentinel satellite-radar composite. it shows you a couple of things. first of all, all the cloud cover we've got across the eastern united states so it will be another day of cloudy skies here. another kind of dreary day. there is your frontal boundary out to the west. the combination of that and all this tropical moisture to our south really wrings out the atmosphere and that is what produces all that rain and creates the heavy rain showers as well. i'm loving futurecast. it is doing a good job of capturing when we see during the course of date. there it is showing that heavy rain. rain showers across most of the region with many areas of heavy rain. that is what we're looking for later. 5:00 p.m., still, for the evening rush hour, rain, some of it heavy coming through down to the south and south central
5:50 am

win in dallas. >> it is. it seems like no matter what, the redskins seem to do well in prime time down there. up here, it seems like a different story. >> this game is going to be a little different, i guess. you have one team that is surging which is it is redskins an one team that is reeling a bit which is the cowboys. >> the first two weeks, i don't think there has been any team under the microscope any more than that the cowboys, specifically tony romo. he just laid an egg in the fourth quarter. everybody was hammering the guy. come back last week, carlos rogers knocks him out of the game temporarily with a punctured lung. >> he does have those stone hands. >> it is still early in the year, steve. you hate to say save their season at 1-1. tbu but going 0-
